The Arc of Illinois is in the beginning planning stages for the 2018 Annual Convention to be held on April 25-26, 2018, at the Hilton Hotel in Lisle, IL. We are looking for individuals or panels of individuals interested in sharing their experiences, expertise and goals in their important work in the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities.
This year’s theme, “Unit, Empower, Act!” will provide attendees with the latest information on many issues from birth and early intervention to transition from high school, employment and improving the quality of life in the community. Please submit a proposal to be a part of this exciting event!
Participants will be a mixture of self-advocates, families, direct care staff, educators, managers and other professionals in the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities. Therefore, proposals on any topic of interest to any of the groups represented are welcome, particularly a new approach or idea.
Please click here for more information on how to submit your proposal!
*Proposals should be submitted no later than November 17, 2017.
Call Janet or Sarah at 815-464-1832 if you have any questions at all on the
proposal process, convention topics or the deadline.
We look forward to your participation in our next Annual Convention.
Thank you!
